I'm happy to announce the first public release of a music addon for Spotify that I've been working on for a while. The addon itself is written in pure python, and makes use of the official libspotify API.

Please note that this work is still in alpha stage, so don't expect something ready for prime time. It was tested on Linux, Windows and Mac (not so extensively there). If you have problems getting it to work please visit the FAQ:https://github.com/mazkolain/spotimc/wiki/FAQ

Man, in my opinion, the only thing that was missing in XBMC was a good spotify plugin so that I wouldn't have to go back to Windows.
You accomplished a terrific job here. This plugin is almost perfect for me. Works like a charm, is simple enough to use and looks really great.

The only thing though, it looks like it has skin issues. I'm testing it with Xeebo for exemple and the left menu is buggy (browse by artist/album), that means if I use my mouse or touchscreen I can't get it all the times or it show/disappears so fast that I can't use it.

Another thing is the compatibilty with the skin itself. The left part of the window is usually dedicated to the global XBMC menus and it becomes unreachable now.

Ayway, congratlutations for the best Spotify plug-in I've seen so far. Directly going from my test computer to my HTPC.

Thank you so much, I hope you'll have the opportunity/resources to make it even better.

The addon already has a context menu that it's activated by pressing the left arrow. Queue and Add to playlist are already on my to-do list. Thank you!

Well, I wasn't even expecting it to work on IOS! Libspotify does have libs for arm too, but aren't handled yet by the addon's library loader code.

By the way, could you please reproduce the playlist bug and send me the log output? I think it could be related to some timeout event that it's not handled correctly.
